I just wanted to let you know that the use of the word "fried" in your article about the squirrel who caused the power outage at the CL&P substation was completely distasteful and offensive to people who are animal lovers.

Apparently, the copy was not written or edited by someone of that nature.

Given the way the economy is, and that the print business is in jeopardy, I think you need to be a little more in touch with those of us who still actually subscribe to your printed version.
